Overview
- ZDF has released the 25th installment of the crime series, now available to stream in the ZDFmediathek.
- An anonymous message with GPS coordinates sends Jana Winter to a forest pit containing a hastily built coffin and human remains, as two families report missing daughters.
- Forensic findings indicate a female victim about 1.65 meters tall and 16–27 years old with signs of violence, and a police DNA database search produces no hit.
- A Danish ancestry project, not permitted in Germany, points investigators to 21-year-old Helle Bruun, who moved to Schleswig-Holstein; her partner says they split two years ago as her parents receive a rare call from her.
- The tipster, a boy named Emilian, believes the deceased is Sarah Heinemann based on a hoodie, while returning guest director Judith Kennel shapes the anniversary episode and the next film is set to place Leo Winter as the main suspect as actor Jacob Lee Seeliger begins university studies.
